Double-blind placebo controlled studies evaluating the safety of mercury based preservatives and aluminum adjuvants in vaccines still have not been done. This study evaluates the contemporary MMR vaccine that does not have mercury or aluminum in it, so it's know surprise to people who understand the science behind vaccine-hesitancy that the results of this study showed no problems.

The parents reporting symptoms of autism from vaccines aren't talking about a gradual process. They are talking about having a normal, happy, talkitive child who plays and engages one day....
...and then right after the vaccine they are completely mentally retarded, can't make eye contact, and no longer speak the words they spoke prior to the vaccination.

"For all of the regularly scheduled vaccines the answer is the risks of not vaccinating greatly outweigh those of receiving it, unless you have an allergy to something in that particular vaccine."
This is only true for healthy people who have had no reactions to vaccines, nor have their family members.
There are people who have life-long debilitating reactions. What is being proposed is to make it impossible to opt-out if you have a personal or family history with negative reactions to vaccines. Medical exemptions are impossible to get except for the very wealthy who can afford the appropriate testing to prove it's an issue.

It's unfortunate how these scientists complain how hard it is for parents to get clear and balanced information on the topic, and then in the same breath talk about how important it is to censor any other scientific perspective but their own.

This study does not evaluate the leading hypothesis of how vaccines could cause autism / other issues.
That hypothesis is the mercury and aluminum exposure. The current MMR vaccine does not contain mercury or aluminum.

Here is Coleen Boyle, Director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, testifying before congress that a double-blind placebo-controlled trial has never been done to evaluate the safety of any vaccine. This is the gold standard of clinical trials that every other drug on the market must complete before FDA approval.

The reason I'm resorting to appeals of emotion is because the opposing side will only listen to emotion. They are so convinced the science is settled that you can't get a single word in to present a logical argument.

Another issue is that physicians flat out deny that there are any risks associated with vaccines. And the one's that do admit this risk losing their license.
Yet it's widely known in the medical industry that all medical treatments carry risk, like you said.

The point I'm making is that it's not okay to force others to inject things they do not want in their bodies so that you don't have to make any effort for dealing with diseases. Forcibly injecting someone is violence, but it's so abstracted in our society that most do not see it that way.
I generally don't bother to argue logical points because no one will listen. But here are a couple of the big ones:
Measles is not a deadly disease for all but in the most rare of cases. Yet the claims of vaccine injuries are skyrocketing. It doesn't make sense to protect people from a non-deadly disease at the cost of giving millions lifelong debilitating illness.
There has not been one double-blind placebo controlled trial to evaluate the safety of any vaccine. All studies that have been done compare a newer vaccine to an older vaccine. Those are the kinds of studies people are referring to when they claim that there is no link between autism and vaccines. These studies only prove that the new vaccine is AS safe as the old vaccine.
The measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. Deaths from measles were already minuscule before the vaccine was even introduced.
Likewise, most diseases were well under control before the introduction of vaccines. This is due to advances in sanitation.
Of course, vaccines for polio are probably worth the risk/reward. But no one is actually talking about polio. We are talking about non-deadly diseases.
This is a decent summary with sources to these claims: http://www.jannyorganically.com/blog/2019/1/27/your-industry...

Why don't you take responsibility for your own health instead of expecting others to risk their lives so you can be lazy?
I was vaccine injured. I battled crippling physical pain and brain damage for over a decade. Do I not have a right to try and survive? Or are you willing to sacrifice people like me so you can be safe with minimal effort?

How would you like it if I called "gender dysphoria" a conspiracy theory? Despite me not being an expert in the issue?
That's what your saying to people with vaccine injuries.

I was vaccine injured. It destroyed my life. This is not rare. I'm not anti-vax. I'm pro safer vaccination practices. But of course, I'm not allowed to talk about this despite overwhelming scientific evidence that vaccines are not 100% safe.

When the medical system actually starts curing people then they can claim their advice is the best. Otherwise it's just opinion. If you can't cure a disease you don't understand it.

I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and autism. All caused by chronic mercury toxicity. The name of the disorder should be "mercury toxicity" in my case.
